Herve:  The proposal is very good :-)  You are the principal author.
Why not?  I didn't write any words.  I'll post my affiliation to you.

I'll read the proposal and your codes.  And I have much more test ideas.

You are right.  Should we give up the repetition functions?  So it'll
be easy?  The repetition functions are unusual.
